Doctor Takes Personality Test | Are They Even Accurate?

Residents in my Discord have been asking me what my Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is, and I didn’t know! So I sat down to take a personality test inspired by the MBTI philosophy and was… surprised by my results. There are several scientific problems with these tests which should prevent them from ever being used in making a major life decision. Some companies actually use these things to hire employees and structure their business, and that’s not something I can endorse. That being said, these tests are very fun and can be entertaining to take with friends or even provide you with some introspection if done with a professional. Let me know what personality type you are down in the comments!

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

Dr. Mike: I’m not overly emotional
Also Dr. Mike: has meltdown over a personality test

This dude is literally a human golden retriever

I think that the problem with this test. Is that to some extent you need to know yourself quite accurately. Since you're giving the data personally.
It also requires honesty, which not every person necessarily has. 😛

I found it interesting that he said he had reoccurring dreams about disappointing his father but then answered disagree on the question about wondering if he’ll disappoint someone who thinks highly of him😂

Dr.Mike: Taking a personality test
Fans of Dr.Mike: We know his personality - *Chest Compressions*

[thomcampbell]

I love how he skimmed over "vulnerable to criticism" while putting up a fuss about his results 😂😂😂

[zephrynnn]

As a member of the MBTI community, I was scared to watch this video but I forced myself to anyway.
THANK YOU for mentioning that the test is inaccurate! I hate how MBTI websites for those who know nothing about MBTI focus on letters more than their cognitive functions.

I'm INFP, mediator. And I think it suits me quite well.
I find it funny that you say you're uncomfortable in social events, but at the same time you joke around with people and insert yourself when you understood the dynamics.
I'm pretty much on the introvert side of things. I put myself in a corner, watch people and wonder how they can manage to talk to other and make social situations seem so easy. The only times I'm in a corner with max one person with me is if a group of people I know and feel safe with are there. And even then, I'd most likely be on the quiet side (although, maybe this weekend will be ok as friends from Sweden will be there and I'm less shy speaking English than I am using french (mother language) or german)
It's also weird to hear you say you're not organized, ... You're a doctor, a content creator, you have a dog, you're boxing, ... How can you do all you're doing if you're not organized?

"People take the same test and get different results!"

Me, getting INTP-A for the 20th time in a row: 👁👄👁

[yours.truly]

Dr. Mike: "My mood does not change frequently."
*Result*
His mood 0 to 100😂😂😂

[kealiimaxilom]

I've found ppl who are personally honest and self-aware always grt this test accurately. Some ppl don't know themselves well or are in denial.

[LiciaMissori]

You are clearly an ENFJ man:) Tests are inaccurate, but the theory behind them not so much. It helped me understand people (and myself) better in SO many ways

[kelss]

Dr. Mike: "I'm not overly emotional"
Also Dr. Mike: *Face Turns Red and Blood Vessles ready to pop with the results*

[maya_mouss]

Dr. Mike: *can't decide to agree or disagree*
Me, yelling at my screen: There's a midDLE OPTION

[jakeforman]

I looked at the protagonist (ENFJ) description, and it seems to fit MUCH better with how he described himself.

[yourmomxddd]

When I took this test, the results were spot on. It was basically as if they knew me better than anyone from my own family

[artchic]

Doctor Mike: I’m quite careless.
Just what you DON’T want a board certified family physician to say.

Don’t worry, we still love you!

[niharika]

I love how Dr. Mike was OUTRAGED by how inaccurate the result was after calmly explaining in detail exactly how and why these tests are inaccurate 😆

[XoechitlGovea]

Dr. Mike: There is no scientific evidence proving MB test.
Also Dr. Mike: *getting worked up over his result* 😂😂 I love it!

[alreytan]

I took this test 3 times.
First result was 2013 -INTJ
Second result around 2015 - INTJ
Third result was 2020 - INFJ
Didn't change the fact that I am majorly introverted but I do think that our personalities also change in every few years especially with new life lessons and experiences. Makes way more sense than just saying, I am aggressive because I'm an aries. 😂
